Post; Assault Rifle


If you could only have one assault rifle, to use as an all round weapon in combat, which would you chose?

I beg to differ, it is a combat rifle, and define assault rifle for me. if it means fully automatic then the SAW is an assault rifle.

Dictionary.com

assault rifle
n.
Any of various automatic or semiautomatic rifles designed for individual use in combat.

n : any of the automatic rifles or semiautomatic rifles with large magazines designed for military use [syn: assault gun]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, I would choose the M16A3 rifle. It's an M16A2 with piccatany rails and full automatic instead of burst capability.
